Bintulu’s Treetops Apartments Target Q3 2026 for Occupation Permits
The long-delayed Treetops Apartments project in Bintulu is now targeting the issuance of occupation permits for Blocks A and B by the third quarter of 2026. Datuk Michael Tiang Ming Tee, Deputy Minister of Public Health, Housing and Local Government, announced this timeline following a coordination meeting with the developer and relevant agencies on May 8. The schedule remains subject to unforeseen circumstances, with potential delays pushing issuance to the fourth quarter of 2026. Significant progress has been made regarding infrastructure hurdles, specifically the approval from Sarawak Energy Berhad to connect to the Jepak Substation. In response to complaints from 296 purchasers about the lack of progress since the project's 2018 commencement, the ministry is implementing strict regulatory measures. These include withholding new developer licenses and reviewing sales permits for companies linked to the problematic developer under the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Ordinance 2013. The government emphasizes its commitment to protecting homebuyers' interests while ensuring orderly project completion through continued monitoring and engagement with all stakeholders involved in the development.
